    repost of disappeared post …

    Imagine that … Posts still disappearing …

    Glad to see ALL of the bugs have been worked out. To paraphrase my mention to Billy Bob recently … I did receive the memo in which we were told Computers (including ALL software, peripherals, … ) are manifested perfection. I must be mistaken when I think some piece of IT isn’t working.

    … repost of post stamped at 6:01 a.m. reply to

    Dana’s post “Surviving Death is now a netflix documentary” – Lol

    My reply …

    Nice Dana! Thank you for inspiring the following … Yes, lets make the Death Cult “fun”, “exciting” and “interesting” enough to deserve a documentary.
    Come on, admit it to yourself, after all you’re just sitting around on your COVID couch with man’s (sorry language police) best friend (translation dog) avoiding you due to your bodily emanations as in the Axe commercial, waiting on your next stimulus check having just finished off your 248th family sized bag of Amazon delivered Cheetos thinking about how this next stimulus check will allow you to have even more Cheetos delivered. Having wast… er … ah ….spent , no not spent, invested yes, invested (in the spirit of “a fee, nothing more”) over 5,593 hours achieving whatever level on whatever incredibly worthless video game – unless of course it’s Dante’s Inferno and its, not real, companion game Mass: We Pray, a game in which players could engage in interactive prayer and a church sermon. If you pre-ordered Dante’s Inferno you received a “mark of the beast discount”. How much you ask? Why, $6.66 of course. (All true, but do your own research.) – finding yourself totally bored out of your gourd?

    22,000 days, 22,000 days it’s not a lot
    It’s all you got 22,000 days
    22,000 nights, 22,000 nights, it’s all you know
    So start the show and this time
    Feel the flow and get it right
    Everybody knows, it always shows
    Wasting time’s an aggravation
    Got no time for confrontation
    You want to take a lot
    By love by law or stealth
    Time’s the only real wealth you have got …
    Thank you Graeme Edge of The Moody Blues for that reminder.

    Hey Kids! There’s something other than mere COVID Couch Existence! (this phrase a Reg.TM of ScarmoCo.) Make those next-door Jonses soooo jealous! Be the first on your block to experience death! Give up on life in the here and now right here and now! (this phrase also a Reg.TM of ScarmoCo.) Since you can’t go to Disneyland (with all of this vaccine development admit it, the sight of giant mice running around might make one somewhat, shall we say, nervous), and with Westworld being but a bore snore (who doesn’t get shot in the street nowadays – shout out to Seattle – from the visitseatle.org website, I kid you not – “Non-essential travel is still discouraged but we know that many of us are fighting cabin fever. Should you find yourself here, rest assured we’ll make you feel at home.” Can one imagine living in a more Clockwork Orange, Brazil (a film by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python) like world than the one in which we are living currently?) and with Stepford, Connecticut existing only in the mind of Ira Levin (for the time being, Bladerunner sexbots coming soon) …

    Wait for it … Wait for it … Opening Soon! At a convenient location Near You! DEATHWORLD! (my idea is to have a franchise of regional suici … er … ah … self-euthanasia [soft enough for you?] theme parks, although of somewhat more interest might be the planetary scale of The Deathworld Trilogy by Harry Harrison. I have thought for some time that Harrison’s series might actually be serving as something of a model for our most recent unpleasantness.) It also occurs to me that a cross promotional opportunity would be possible between Netflix and Deathworld! theme parks. A series of documentaries, shot on site in the parks, on selected persons sacrifi … er … ah … shall we say … choice, yes, lets use the word choice, to self-euthanize portrayed as being the ultimate patriotic act. Yes, why should one cause the state to incur the cost, and the burden of declaring you “obsolete” (see Twilight Zone, Episode # 65, The Obsolete Man) … oops apologies again personal pronoun police for the use of the word “man”. I’m simply reproducing the title as it was originally written. Oops, sorry again … Will this post be removed for using the word “written”? Is it still permissible to use past participles or past perfect tense or to even know about past participles or past perfect tense? I’m so unsure of the rules nowadays. But I digress …

    Death …The Ultimate in Life Experience! (apologies again for the boilerplate but, this phrase also a Reg.TM of ScarmoCo.) Yes, yes … tell us what you KNOW Jeff Kripal … “Come now!”

    It may be that not so much your money (finite) but your time (infinite and eternal) is the ULTIMATE harvest goal.

    GIZA satire /humor disclaimer … This post is intended in the spirit of Swift and Mencken (although not by any stretch of the imagination close to the quality of these masters, although I’m working on improving my quality)
    This post is not intended to offend either by inference or implication as I too (or is it to? … rules, rules, rules) am awaiting my stimulus check with which I also intend to order more Cheetos to be delivered by Amazon in a timely manner with the efficiency deemed necessary and benevolently provided by Microsoft software logistics.

    Repeat with me … Praise Be to The Computer Almighty and His Representative on Earth, Baal Gates, and His minions the Sainted, Black Garbed, Condescending, Priestly Webmasters and of the Sun Fellowship of the Holy Actionable Intelligence. May The Computer’s Blessings descend and envelope us all in the glorious, comforting Shekinah of the Invisible Rainbow, this day and for evermore.
    Amen.
